Deleting bookmarks in Firefox will remove them permanently from the web browser. There is no going back which might sometimes end in chaos and desperation. Some users might feel more secure with some sort of backup to recover accidentally deleted bookmarks.
That’s where Bookmark Trash comes into play. It adds A Bookmark Trash folder to the root folder of the Firefox Bookmark’s folder. Every bookmark that gets deleted by the user after installing the Firefox add-on will be moved to the Bookmark Trash automatically instead of being deleted right away.
The user can therefor access those deleted bookmarks in the Bookmark Trash to recover them. The alternative would be to empty the trash regularly to remove the deleted bookmarks permanently from the system.
The extension is in experimental stage which means that users need to log into the Mozilla homepage to be able to download and install the add-on.

The user can also access the past few days’ bookmarks backups in his profile folder. This is how I deal with situations in which I must recover a deleted bookmark.
very interesting idea,
thx
very good app….but whenever my “live bookmarks” refresh to get new stories, all old “live bookmarks” stories go to the trash folder – a bit annoying, as i had reserved the trash folder for deleted bookmarks only, not for old “live bookmarks” stories….what do you think?
